Extreme packaging

Since the sake museum gave me lots and lots of alcohol for free, I felt that I should at least buy something in the souvenir shop they have. I bought something called "blueberry pie". It was a huge box, but like with many products in Japan, it felt super light when you lifted it.

Even some of my Japanese friends said: "Are you sure this is not just a display element? This box must be empty!" But it did contain small souvenir cookies.
